Whether you are paying on behalf of a non-government entity, a government entity, or making a gift to MIT, you’ll find everything you need to know about wiring funds here.
Determine wire transfer type and notify recipient

MIT accepts three types of wire transfers from payees/donors—non-government wires, government wires, and gift wires. To transfer money to MIT, follow the specific instructions below for the type of wire transfer you wish to make.

Before you make a wire transfer, you must notify the receiving MIT department or office to ensure that MIT’s bank properly credits the payment.
